Denarius - Bogud and Bocchus II

Bogud and Bocchus II were the two sons of Bocchus I who divided Mauretania between them following their father's death around 49 BC — Bogud ruling the western half from Tingis, Bocchus II the east from Caesarea. This joint coinage reflects a moment of genuine political cooperation, likely cemented by their shared alliance with Julius Caesar during the African campaign against the Pompeian-Numidian forces, culminating at Thapsus in 46 BC. Bogud in particular supplied cavalry that proved critical in that engagement.

The alliance didn't hold. Bogud later backed Mark Antony, was expelled from his kingdom around 38 BC, and died fighting at Methone.
